Both laser and plasma deliver clean, accurate profiles — but each shines in different thickness ranges and budgets. Laser is ideal for intricate sheet work and tight tolerances; plasma is the workhorse for thicker plate at speed.
Quick comparison
- Laser: steel to ~20 mm, SS to ~15 mm, aluminum to ~12 mm, excellent edge quality
- Plasma: thick plate 20–50 mm+, faster on heavy sections
Send a DXF or DWG to SAEW and we will recommend the process that balances cost, edge finish and turnaround.
